Day 4 of the 2026 Kentucky Electric Cooperatives Washington Youth Tour included a walking tour of the National Mall's memorials and the Washington Monument, Smithsonian Institution museums, and a visit to Arlington National Cemetery where four Kentucky students participated in a wreath laying ...at the Tomb of the Unknowns. On Thursday night, the Kentucky delegation joined students representing co-ops from across the country at the NRECA Electric Cooperative Youth Tour Youth Night.
Since 1972, Kentucky's electric cooperatives have sponsored students on the Washington Youth Tour to give rising high school seniors the opportunity to see their government in action, engage with elected officials and national leaders, learn about our nation’s history, and connect with peers from across the Commonwealth. Delegates also gain a deeper understanding of how their local electric cooperative powers and supports their communities every day.
